From here we head south. We’ve got ONE last stop in Oregon…of a techie nature…which you techie geeks will thoroughly enjoy (I’ll tease you and leave you in rapt anticipation for that one), after which we high-tail it to sun and drier climes. As with every great voyage there will also be a cross-roads, a point where we’ll either decide to take the scenic route or a more direct road (depending on weather), but either way we’ll have plenty to tell along the way.

Bye beautiful Oregon. You are well worthy of your motto Alis Volat Propiis (“She Flies With Her Own Wings”). Making use of equally infamous words (albeit without any fancy latin) I can only say “we’ll be back”.

If you are still there in the Southern portion, you might want to stop at Bandon before you head back into Calif. There’s an animal park just south of town where you can sit in a pen and have lion, tiger, or cougar cubs walk all over you. We’ve done it about 3 times so far, and for an animal lover it’s really super.

Love,Love,Love Oregon. Wish we could have spent two months there! But as you say…we will return! We have been in Redding,CA the last 4 days. Weather is great but my husband is sick of me comparing Redding (unfavorably) to Bend. Heading out Saturday and, boy, am I ready! Will head toward Lodi. Where are you two going?

We’re already high-tailing it south. Spent last night in Grants Pass and will be in CA by tonight. Gotta hit the 395 while campgrounds are still open. Enjoy Eugene..definitely hit the farmers market there. Our Take on Freedom (see blog links) is there for another 2 weeks or so if you have time to look em up.

Oh, we most definitely miss you guys too! Bet Fin really had a blast at Hunting Island…it was our first stop on the Altantic last year and Polly just went banana’s. We’ll be thinking of you warming your toes in Markham. Wish we could be there!

Oregon is one of those wonderland places that everybody has to go back to, no matter how many times you’ve been there. Don’t know if it’s still there, but the State’s PR theme used to be “Relax in a state of enjoyment.”

Glad you guys had a good time. I love it in the Northwest. It is on our bucket list. Wanted to hear about your warranty experience on the new repairs. I am still on the fence on whether it will be worth purchasing one. Our plan is to purchased a used rig. So I assumed a warranty would be required. However, I continue to hear in general about battles to approve work.

Hi Deas,
You know we haven’t actually used the warrenty yet, so hard to say (from our experience) whether it’s worth it. Our repairs so far have all fallen under the deductable and some of the last stuff we did (replace seals) is not covered. I’m still happy we have it in case something major happens, but can’t actually give you any tips on how it worked out yet.

If you haven’t been there before, make sure you take the Keys Ranch tour at Joshua Tree. Really interesting place and a glimpse into the history of that area. You have to reserve a spot at the ranger entrance then meet them at the ranch the next day for the tour. Enjoy 395, it’s our absolute favorite highway, and don’t forget Bodie if you haven’t been there yet.

Trackbacks

[…] the cool coast and explore the southern part of Oregon. It’s the perfect follow-on to our 2-month trip through Northern Oregon last year and means we’ll get many more paw-happy-sand-lovin’ moments on our very favorite […]
